Summoning

Then I remember what she did to me and I smile.

The sprogs! I will use the sprogs to torment her!

Can I do that? Will they obey my command? Is my magic that strong? Using my will, I summon them from the dark. Full of hunger, they surge into our world.

I hurl them at Lizzie.

When I leave with the children, she is in serious trouble.

She is screaming.

One sprog is already forcing itself into her ear. She is fighting desperately, vainly. Another is scratching its way up into her left nostril. So I put a limit on things. Give it five minutes before the sprogs go back to the dark.
